Speaker 1: the greatest thing since the Bengals AFC Championship rings. It's

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: obviously not the ultimate prize, but the Bengals distributed spectacular

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: rings last week to celebrate the organization's third trip to

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The top of the ring features the

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: Bengals orange and black b logo, with a diamond cut

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: black stone behind it to make that logo pop. Above

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: and below it are ten orange sapphires, symbolic of the

26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: franchisees ten division titles. Eighty diamonds sparkle on top of

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: the ring, including a series in the shape of a football,

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: and seventeen more diamonds around the top edge in an

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: alternating pattern with seventeen orange sapphires. The Lamar Hunt AFC

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Championship Trophy is on the side of the ring, surrounded

31
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: by three more or in sapphires, signifying Cincinnati's three conference titles,

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: and on the inside of the ring you'll find the

33
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: scores of the bengals three postseason wins. For the players

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: and coaches, it's a richly deserved reward for all they

35
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: accomplished last season, and also a reminder that a bigger

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: prize is within their grasp. Last year, on back together. Saturday,

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: the Big Open practice that the Bengals hold at Paul

38
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Brown Stadium. Evan McPherson ended the day by attempting a

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: sixty yard field goal. He had the distance but missed

40
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: it wide left. This year, he ended the event with

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: a sixty five yard attempt and drilled it with plenty

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: of room to spare. It was the latest impressive feat

43
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: by the kid with a bionic foot. Including the postseason.

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Last year, McPherson made twelve field goals of fifty or

45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: more yards. Dave lappom and I caught up with him

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Saturday immediately after that sixty five yard blast. Did you

47
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: know that sixty five yard opportunity was coming? Yeah? No,

48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: I definitely did. We've talked about it and just kind

49
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: of It's kind of what we did last year too,

50
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: was just kind of putting foot on a show for

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the for the fans and everybody that showed up. So

52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was coming. We didn't know how

53
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: far we were gonna go. We're just gonna kind of

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: judge it off of how we were feeling on the

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: wind and everything. How did that feel felt good? No?

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I hit it really well. Um probably hit it as

57
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: about as good as I could have um and the

58
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: guy stating under the upright said it was it had

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a couple more yards on its all felt good. Anything

60
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: if I hit that that same ball maybe like seventy

61
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: he said it had been good from seventy. But who knows.

62
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Sweet nice way to cap this practice. I mean, obviously

63
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: everybody out here is still buzzing from the Super Bowl trip,

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: and to see you do that sends everybody home happy. Yeah, definitely,

65
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: and I think it I think everybody should be excited

66
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: for the season. I say, well, you know, they saw

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: a good team out there practicing the day, and they're

68
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: going to see a good team play here in as

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: a next week or a couple of weeks against Arizona

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: thirteen days, thirteen days, there we go. What'd you think

71
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: of the reception when you walked out? People went nuts? Yeah.

72
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just awesome just to have that support

73
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: from the fans, and it gives me confidence going into it.

74
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: You know that everybody's behind me if no matter what happens.

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: So all right, you've got a sixty five yarder in practice.

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: If it comes up in a game, you know you

77
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: can do it. Exactly, No We're prepared for it, so

78
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the right situation for sure. Last year

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: I saw McPherson make a sixty two yarder during pregame

80
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: warmups in Denver, and later that day he set the

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: franchise record with a fifty eight yarder in the game.

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: The Bengals Booth podcast is presented by Ultimate Bengals. They're

83
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: free to play fantasy football game. This past season, Ultimate

84
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Bengals awarded a weekly winner during the course of the

85
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: year with tickets, autograph merchandise, and money can't buy experiences

86
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: all up for grabs five Ultimate Bengals in the app

87
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Store and Google Play. NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport was

88
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: in attendance at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday, and I

89
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: caught up with him for about ten minutes just before

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: practice got under way. Ian, what are your biggest questions

91
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: about the Bengals coming off the Super Bowl appearance. I

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: don't have nearly as many questions as I did last year.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it, like the defense,

94
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: assuming Jesse Bates shows up before Week one, defense is

95
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: basically the same, right, I mean, you lose Ogan Joby,

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: but like you can make up for those seven sacks

97
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else, probably like some talent in the back end. Otherwise,

98
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: like everyone's basically the same offensive line will be better.

99
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: So it's not like I have a ton of questions,

100
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: like his Ted Carriss can be able to be like

101
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: a starting center or whatever. Like Le Collins is what

102
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: he is, like a really really really solid tackle. Like

103
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't even have any questions there. Joe Burrow sounds like,

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: get a great offseason and I health one, which is

105
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: most important. He'll probably be a little bit better too,

106
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: So questions like I don't know, I really don't have

107
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: very many. Honestly, that's pretty telling. I mean in most

108
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: camps there's usual at least something that you wonder, Okay,

109
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: did they solve that problem or whatever. It doesn't sound

110
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: like this particular team has a bunch of those. Yeah,

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the offensive line would be sort

112
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: of the target. But like it's not like they drafted

113
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: guys and then we'll see like the guys they signed,

114
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, like I know what Lyle Collins is. I've

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: seen him start for seven years or whatever. It is

116
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: like Ted Kerres, same thing, Kappas, same thing. Like I

117
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: don't know, like I'm not. I don't. I guess maybe

118
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: you worry about the wonder about the fit a little bit,

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: but like I'm really not, Like I think they should

120
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: be fine. Like last you know, the only sort of

121
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: thing would be everyone's gunning for him, but like that's

122
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: not really a tangible thing, and like I feel like

123
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: everyone's gunning for everyone in the NFL anyway. So I

124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Do you think the Jesse Bates contract impass

125
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: could be a problem. No, I don't think it'll be

126
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: a problem. I don't think it'll be a problem this year.

127
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, you'd like to get it done. He is

128
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: a homegrown, great guy, great player. Those are the guys

129
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: you'd like to pay. They just didn't get it to

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: a point where it got done. And you know, I

131
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: know there are several other teams that didn't get deals

132
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: done for their franchise guy either. Some did, some didn't.

133
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: It's too bad because you'd always like to you'd always

134
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: like to handle it. But as far as like on

135
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: the football field, you know, assuming he shows up for

136
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a week one, which historically almost everybody has, you might

137
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: take a couple of weeks to get into the flow,

138
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: like okay, maybe, but you got a first rounder who's

139
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: been taking all those reps might end up being a

140
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: positive because that's a lot more steps for Dax than

141
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: you're expecting. Ian rap report is our guest. Burrows many

142
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: great pat tribute. What stands out to you the most.

143
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: He's a great dresser. He's pregame pre game outfits are tremendous.

144
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: He gives you know he doesn't care, we'll just dress

145
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: to the nine thing, go out and perfore him. I

146
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: always respected that. No, But I think the thing about

147
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Burrow is really the same thing that it's been before

148
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: he became a pro, is that he's always been a pro.

149
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: Like It's not like, how's he going to react to

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: the NFL Like he's been an NFL quarterback. He just

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: did it in college, like he ran the show at LSU.

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: He does the same here. He's got total understanding of

153
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the offense. He's got really good accuracy. He is able

154
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: to get what he wants in like a sort of

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: not offensive way, which I think if you're a leader,

156
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: half the thing is getting what you want without everybody

157
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: hating you. Nobody hates Joe Burrow. Everybody loves Joe Burrow.

158
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Um there's a lot to like. I mean, there's a

159
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: lot to like. You know, it's interesting because when you

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: joke about his wardrobe choices, it does kind of reinforce

161
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: how comfortable he is in his own skid. That's part

162
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: of his leadership, I think. Yeah. I mean, I don't

163
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: know about the parental level of this podcast, but I

164
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: would say he gives no face, like he really doesn't,

165
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: and he addresses how he wants to. And he's bold,

166
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: and he's a little brash, and he'll wear a big

167
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: chain and I'll wear stupid glasses at a press conference,

168
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and I'll throw over three and fifty yards and like,

169
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that he does. They really

170
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: have to be great to do, which is great because

171
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: he is great and so like he could literally do

172
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: anything you want. Everyone's like he's earned it. You know,

173
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: there's a lot of star par on this team right

174
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: now with Burrow, Chase Higgins, mix and etc. How about

175
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: under the radar guys or under rated guys? Is there

176
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: anybody on this team that you think, you know what,

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: that guy's a big difference maker for the Bengals and

178
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: nobody really talks about him. I would say, you know,

179
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: I'll be curious if Hayden Hurst fills that this year.

180
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, CJ was so good and so perfect for

181
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: the Bengals, got more money somewhere else, which is awesome,

182
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Like that's that's what you want. And I'll be really

183
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: curious to see where Hayden Hurst fits in. You know,

184
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: It's not like people were like beating down his door

185
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: in free agency. He's been really productive a couple of

186
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: different times, but has never really really commanded top dollar.

187
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not I don't really know why. He just

188
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: hasn't freeting. He doesn't work for everyone. Sounds like the

189
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: early returns are really positive. He is a great athlete.

190
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: He is a great athlete, so might give you a

191
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: little more than CJ gave you, maybe just as far

192
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: as like stretching it a little bit. So I'm really

193
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: fascinated to see what that edition was. What stands out

194
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: to you about how Duke Tobin built this roster over

195
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and turning a team that

196
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: had the number one pick in the draft to a

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: team that was some minute and a half away from

198
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean it's hard to

199
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: get any better than what they've done, you know, and

200
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: like Duke as a guy, I've always had a lot

201
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: of respect for everyone around the league. Does um, you know,

202
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: there was a string of years where it kind of

203
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: all came apart and I don't even know that it

204
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: was really like, you know, was it player evaluation, Like

205
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: I didn't maybe some missues, but like not even really

206
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: that many honestly, just it was a good run that

207
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: sort of went the wrong way, you know. I think

208
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: the coaching change helped and they had to start back

209
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: up from the bottom. And he is patient, He is

210
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: very savvy. Picks picks have been really good and when

211
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: the Vangals never spending free agency, but when they've done,

212
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, with the with one exception Trey Wayne's which

213
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: he just wasn't healthy, Like that's what what are you

214
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna do? It wasn't healthy. Um, every guy they've chosen

215
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: has fit and has been an instant impact guy, Like

216
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: it's hard to have that good of a hot streak,

217
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: but he think about it, that's really what they've done.

218
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Great drafting, well timed free agents and like a year

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: before they were good, he and the coaching staff kind

220
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: of helped establish the Bengals is like a place players

221
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: would want to be. Obviously, it wasn't always like that,

222
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: so that kind of stands out. I think there's a

223
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: bit of a national narrative out there that the Bengals

224
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: might have been a little bit lucky or flukey last year,

225
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: whatever term you want to use. Do you think there's

226
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: any validity to that. I haven't really heard that, because

227
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: everyone has respect for where they are. Like, if you

228
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: look at it, this roster, this is a good roster,

229
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Like it is a like find the weak spot, you know,

230
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: like the offensive line was it, and then spent a

231
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of money to share it up, like find the weakness.

232
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: So it didn't feel fluky. And I think maybe because like,

233
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, there are quarterbacks who are productive a good

234
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: obviously Joe's good, but everybody likes him and it feels

235
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: like nationally thinks he's cool and wants him to succeed.

236
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: So like, I didn't get the sense everybody thought it

237
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: was a fluke. I think everybody got the sense of, like,

238
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: these guys deserve to be here because like, are they

239
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: a little too young? Maybe, but like they didn't know

240
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: anything last year, so they just kept winning. You know.

241
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: The whole thing was really cool. To watch. How do

242
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: you assess the AFC North the weekend of training camps?

243
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, I would say Steelers, I'd like to know

244
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: a little more about, to know who their quarterback is. Otherwise,

245
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns are gonna be interesting, depending on

246
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: how long Deshaun Watson suspended. Otherwise it's going to be

247
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of the same. And when Ravens will be good,

248
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: Bengals will be good. You know, like it might be

249
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: a little different early the Steelers take a while to

250
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: find their footing and the Browns don't have DeShawn, But

251
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: like by the end, my guess is that everyone's kind

252
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: of around in that playoff mix. In December, final question

253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: for Ian Rapp Report. How valuable is this time of

254
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: the year for you going from camp to camp, developing contacts,

255
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: reconnecting with contacts. I mean, it's amazing. It's it's you know,

256
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: hard on the body, it's hard on the life because

257
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: you say, I'm going away for twenty days. It is

258
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: so essential and besides just being important for work, Like

259
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'll come and I'll meet young coaches that

260
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I've never met, Like I sat with Dan Pitcher for

261
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes because I heard great things, and it's one

262
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm here. I heard great things people

263
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: like you should meet this guy. So I came here

264
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: to talk with Zach and Duke and whoever, but also

265
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: meet Dan Pitcher because as far as someone who's going

266
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: to be an offensive coordinator maybe head coach, like he's

267
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: on the list, you know. So that's why this is

268
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: important for me. So it's hard, like logistically, it's hard.

269
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Body wise, it's hard. It is a lot of fun,

270
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: and it's insanely valuable. You probably got four critical texts

271
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: during this ten minute conversation, so I really appreciate your time.

272
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: I will check in one second and pray, thank you man,

273
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Dan Pitcher is the Bengals thirty

274
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: five year old quarterbacks coach, and I'm not surprised to

275
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: hear that his name is getting around as a future

276
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or even head coach. Finally, time to check

277
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: in with Dave Lapham as we share some thoughts on

278
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: the first week of training camp. Lap or four practices in,

279
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: none of them in full pads. So it's very early

280
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: to make any definitive sort of statements at this point.

281
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: But have there been any standouts in the early going.

282
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: In your opinion, I think a lot of guys have

283
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: started camp off pretty well. Dan, I have been impressed.

284
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: I was impressed at OTAs with Kwamie Laster, his you know,

285
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: precise and smooth out running of ballio ability. I don't

286
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: think he's going to run away from anybody, but I

287
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: do think that he gets separation, you know, he lowers

288
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: his hips and gets in and out of cuts well.

289
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: And a guy I gotta like him caught my eye

290
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: and I think he's done a pretty good job in

291
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: the early stage as a training camp. I will say

292
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: that all three of the the rookie defensive acts, we

293
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: heard about their speed and it's transplated on the football

294
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: feed field. Sometimes guys that run fast forwardies and you

295
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: don't see it on functional football speed. But these guys

296
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: you do, you know, and and they're they're covering a

297
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of ground out there, and I think they've all

298
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: got all got bright futures. There's uh, there's no doubt

299
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: about that. Dax Hill, Cam Taylor Britt. You know, they

300
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: these guys have have really have really shown shown me

301
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: that that they've they've got football speed. Tyson Amerson as

302
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: well on the Toledo um speed and football speed, both

303
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: which is good trade On Williams, I thought it's had

304
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: a very good start to his training camp. Another guy

305
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: in the secondary that I liked in is is DeVante Hood.

306
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: This this guy's long, you know, and he's got he's

307
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: got some ability. I think, you know, he's got I'm

308
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: not talking about all these guys making the team necessarily,

309
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: but definitely on the practice squad with an opportunity to

310
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: develop them for you know, for their NFL careers. At

311
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: the linebacker level. Got Clarence Hicks to me, looks like

312
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of suddenness and twitched to him. Um,

313
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: I want to see see more of him. It's been

314
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: good to see a keen Davis Gaither working his way

315
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: back to I think a pretty you know, pretty effective

316
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: linebacker for the for the Bengals. From a physical standpoint,

317
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: he can really run offensive lineman. It's it's very hard

318
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: to judge, like you said, without pads on Dan, but

319
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: I think I think that group is going to be

320
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: noticeably better when when things get underway, and in fact,

321
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: in my opinion, this football team roster wise from a

322
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: year ago, is much better now than it was a

323
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: year ago, and the biggest reason in my mind is

324
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: because of the improvements they've made in the offensive line

325
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: um that that has taken a you know, well over

326
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: the top. I think, so those are those are a

327
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: few guys. I think Zach Carter has has shown that

328
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: he's got the ability to to be that three technique

329
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: that Ogan Joeby provided. I'm not saying to the level

330
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: of Logan Joeby provided right away, but I think he's

331
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: He's got a good sized body on him, he's got

332
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: very good first step quickness, he's got you know, give

333
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: off to him. I think I think he's another one

334
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: that has had a fairly good, fairly good start to

335
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: training camp. But now that the ramp up stage is over,

336
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: practice without pads, now we'll find out a little bit

337
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: more about the interior or the upfront guys, the offensive

338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: and defensive line, and linebackers and tight ends and people

339
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: of that. ILK. I'm glad you mentioned rookie Zach Carter

340
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: and Larry Ogan Jobie because I think Larry Ogunjobi's absence, departure,

341
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: whatever term you want to use, is maybe the kind

342
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: of least talked about story on this team this year.

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: He played sixty four percent of the defensive snaps during

344
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the regular season. Last year it was forty five percent

345
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: for b J. Hills. He added up again one o nine,

346
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: so sometimes they played together, but Ogan Joby got the

347
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: bulk of the snaps next to DJ Reader. That's an

348
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: important job. Those guys have to have somebody that goes

349
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: in there and gives them, you know, a blow from

350
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: time to time. Josh Tupa can do that and does

351
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: it pretty well, particularly in run stopping situations. But it'd

352
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: be nice to have a guy that can go in

353
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: there and provide a little pass rush and hopefully Zach

354
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Carter can be that guy. I agree, Dan, and um,

355
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: you know the thing You've got DJ Reader and Tupaul

356
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: and those guys are you know, they're big space eater guys.

357
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: And what Ogan Joby did, and I think what what

358
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: Carter is going to be able to do is invert

359
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you know, with that explosive penetration

360
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of thing. You know, they give these type of guys,

361
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: give them that scenario. And that's that's tough when when

362
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: you get the the line inverted against you and you're

363
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: trying to you know, establish the line of scrimmage. It's

364
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: it can be a definite challenge, so that that role

365
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: is an important one and I think they might have

366
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: a candidate that could, you know, can feel that. Overall, Dana,

367
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: I've been extremely impressed with the Bengals defense. The low

368
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: red zone defense yesterday was suffocating. You know. The offense

369
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: never scored a testdown on a snap from inside the

370
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: ten yard line on a single snap. And like I

371
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: said earlier, the team speed has increased with these young

372
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: guys on the back end. They're fast. This defensive football

373
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: team is fast, period, and they cover a lot of

374
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: ground out there. I think defensively they're going to pick

375
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: up where they left off. And you look at it

376
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, seven different guys combined for eight interceptions,

377
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: So Louiana Rum was getting contributions everywhere, you know, in

378
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: terms of making players on the football. And that's what

379
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: it's all about. It's all about the ball, man, It's

380
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: all about protecting the ball. It's all about taking it away.

381
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: On the other side, of those nine takeaways and only

382
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: two giveaways plus seven in the class was the single

383
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: most important reason they got to Super Bowl fifty six.

384
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about hayden Hurst. He's not quite as big

385
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: as c J Uzama. I don't necessarily think that he's

386
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: faster running in a straight line than CJ. They're probably

387
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: pretty comparable, but he's more fluid. CJ was more robotic

388
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: in his cuts. You could kind of see when the

389
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: cut was coming in advance. Hayden Hurst is very fluid.

390
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: I think he's off to an excellent start. And I

391
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: think CJ was twentieth in the NFL last year in

392
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: receiving yards among tight ends a little bit under five

393
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I think hayden Hurst could could add one

394
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: hundred or two hundred yards to that in this offense.

395
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: I totally agree with your assessment about, you know, the

396
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: route running aspect of it, the fluidity of it getting

397
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: in and out of cuts. You know, Fredikof wasn't gonna

398
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: run by anybody, but Fred Blitnikoff would get separation and

399
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: against really good defensive backs, they had great quickness and

400
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: speed because he would get in and out of his

401
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: cut so sharply and so precisely, he'd have it. You know,

402
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: he'd gained a step right there. And hayden Hurst has

403
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: that type of route running a bit he runs routes

404
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: like a whiteout. He's got that type of that type

405
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: of physical ability I think in a big body like that.

406
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: So I do think that's going to be an underrated thing.

407
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: I think people aren't talking about it as much as

408
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: like you were when you were talking about Ogan, Joeb

409
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: and Carter. You know that that aspect of it. With

410
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the three receiver sets, the eleven personnel that the Banks

411
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: are going to run a high percentage of the time,

412
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst is going to get some very favorable matchups

413
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: for a guy his talent and ability. So I think

414
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: that's going to be something to monitor as you know,

415
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: not only training camp goes on, because I'm not sure

416
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: how many snaps he's going to get in preseason games,

417
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: but definitely as the season progresses. To me, it's going

418
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: to be very interesting his value if at the end

419
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage he can be able to

420
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: handle himself with outside linebackers and looking down on defensive

421
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: ends and some of the physicality things. CJ was pretty

422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: good in that area, you know, in terms of solidifying things.

423
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: If you have a line of scrimmage, if Hayden Hurst

424
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: can provide that that CJ did, as well as the

425
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: advantage that he gets with his route running ability to

426
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: have something pretty good there. I made an appearance on

427
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: the NFL Network on Saturday, and they asked me about

428
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: the vibe at training camp, and I described it as

429
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: unfinished business and passed along an anecdote from cornerback Trey Flowers.

430
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: I was talking to him at his locker the other

431
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: day and mentioned the AFC championship rings and he said

432
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: he hadn't even opened the box. He doesn't even want

433
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: to see it until they went a real Super Bowl

434
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: Championship ring. Then he'll go back and look at an

435
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: AFC Championship ring. Do you get a kind of an

436
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: unfinished business vibe? Is that a good way to describe it?

437
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: Or is there something else that stands out to you?

438
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: I do? I do get that. There's there's no doubt.

439
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: I think that they realized that they were right in

440
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: the midst of an opportunity that doesn't present itself very often,

441
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: and they didn't quite get it done. So they I

442
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: do think that they're feeling that unfinished business feeling, and

443
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: unfortunately franchises felt that three times now, and I can

444
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: I can relate to Trey Flowers. I've kind of pretty

445
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: much did the same thing with the ring I got

446
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: as a player, and I really haven't won it. I

447
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: haven't won that ring um And I'm not sure how

448
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: much aware of the ring that we got as a

449
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: broadcast team for Super Bowl fifty six, but it was intentional.

450
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: As a player, It's like, oh no, this isn't a

451
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: big prize. This is a consolation prize, and I'm not.

452
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: I was proud of the fact that we are to

453
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: see champions, but bemoaning the fact that we didn't win

454
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: the big the big banana. So I do think there's

455
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that with this uh, with this football team.

456
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: The other thing though, that it hits me. You know,

457
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: we've been in the locker room. COVID protocols are gone,

458
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: so we're back in there and able to uh, you know,

459
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: mingle with players. That locker room is phenomenal. I mean,

460
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: there is no jerk factor whatsoever, not a sniff of

461
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: it anywhere. And they they they're all they're all got

462
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: each other's backs, they're all pulling for each other. No,

463
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's all about with us. It's not I me.

464
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: You know, there's no selfishness in there. It really is

465
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: about as good as I've seen. And you know, they're

466
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: all high character guys. They're all you know, captains and

467
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: multiple captains and um it's and during the course of

468
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: the season. I mean, heck, look at the Bengals. They

469
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: lost two home games in a row to the Charges

470
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: and forty nine ers and overtime to be seven and

471
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: six halfway through December. So you're not thinking going to

472
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six. But that character and everything, you

473
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: handle adversity better, you know, instead of finger pointing and

474
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: you know it's not me, it's you. Everybody said, Okay,

475
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my job a little bit better and

476
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: do and handle things. And they caught fire at the

477
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: right time. And that I think those kind of intangiles,

478
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: those kind of variables are going to take your long way.

479
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: L Collins hasn't practiced yet because of a sore back.

480
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: We talked to him in front of his locker a

481
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Did that conversation settle any concerns

482
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: you might have had about his health going forward? Yeah,

483
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: I've been around teammates that have had, you know, minor

484
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: disc issues where it's pinching a nerve kind of thing

485
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: all four L five and you know, some numbness in

486
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: the leg or whatever the case may be. And they

487
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: have alleviated themselves the way he's moving around and he's

488
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: the way he's able to work out already. I don't

489
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: see any real major issue in terms of him, you know,

490
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: missing two months or something like that. I think he's

491
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: going to be back in a couple of weeks. I

492
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: think he will be taking reps out there before training

493
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: camp is totally over with. By that, I mean, you know,

494
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: camp quote breaks before the preceding games are all concluded.

495
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: But it's the exact same thing. He'll he'll get the

496
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: work that he needs, I think to be ready to

497
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: play against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the opener in my estimation,

498
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see the right side, center, right guard,

499
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: right tackle. I'm excited to see those guys out there,

500
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: you know, working together against a good defensive unit like

501
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in that opener. It's going to be

502
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be a very good first test. There's

503
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: no doubt about it that that group is pretty strong.

504
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: He's he's going to have his handfull of TJ. Watt.

505
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: Now that guy is the energizer bunny. He keeps going

506
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: and going and going. But I think Collins is going

507
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: to be up to the task. It's going to be

508
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: a very interesting, interesting battle of watch on the edge there.

509
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: I think we all assume that Jesse Bates is going

510
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: to report at some point, probably in time for a

511
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: week one of the regular season. But if not, would

512
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: Dax Hill be fine based on what you've seen so far? Yeah,

513
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think that it's it's hard

514
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: to drill a hole in a rookie's head and pour

515
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: all the experience that Jesse Bates has got now. So honestly,

516
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Jesse second round pick himself, you know, high

517
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: second round pick, and uh, you know, it took him

518
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: a little while. It takes everybody a little while. So

519
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that we can expect Dax Hill to

520
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: be as as comfortable as Jesse Bates might be in

521
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: the early stages of the season with everything that's going

522
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: on around it, because it will be so new to

523
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: Dax and more old hat to Jesse, as Jesse will

524
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: have seen more at that point in time in terms

525
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: of what the NFL has got to offer from a

526
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: formation standpoint, and play, creativity and excellence of the athletes

527
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: and all that that goes along with it. There is

528
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: some adjustment there, but I think he's a quick study

529
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: and I think he's got ability to adapt and adjust

530
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: to his environment pretty done quickly. Is he gonna make mistakes? Hell, yeah,

531
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: everybody makes mistakes, but I think he's gonna you know,

532
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: it's doctor to crush him if he makes a mistake.

533
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: He won't. He won't stay lost in space. He's gonna

534
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: bounce right back and uh and make plays. I think

535
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: he's that type of player. I do think they've got

536
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: a really good player in Dacksville, and I think they've

537
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: got another one and Tyson Anderson. The organization has done

538
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good job over the years of doubling down,

539
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, Chad and the TJ and you know, doubling

540
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: down up positions where you can only get one, you

541
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: get a couple, and they might have done at this

542
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: time at the safety position in the draft. I've been

543
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: very impressed by Ted Carriss with his energy, his enthusiasm,

544
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: his smarts, his leadership, etc. I wasn't here in your

545
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: playing days, but I bet you were like that back

546
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: in the day. Do you feel a little bit of

547
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: a bond with Ted carriss I do feel, you know,

548
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bond with with Ted. He's

549
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: a very Uh He's an easy guy to gravitate toward because,

550
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: like you said, he is so enthusiastic and energetic about

551
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: the game. He's got a real high football intelligence quoting.

552
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: There's no question he's got to football IQ that that

553
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: you that you look for. And you know, I'm sure

554
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: some teammates are like, oh man, this guy is this real?

555
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: That's him every day. He just loves football. He loves

556
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: exactly every aspect of you know, being there. He loves

557
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: getting ready, preparing, he loves the grind of the preparation. Uh,

558
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: he loves everything about it. And I'm sure you know

559
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: there are things that you know I'm not I'm not

560
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: real keen on that, but overall, when you lay your

561
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: head on the pillow, I'm sure I remember feeling his way,

562
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: even in the throes of training camp, in the in

563
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: the dog days of training camp, when your body's saying

564
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing to me, and you

565
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: know you're mentally fatigued and everything else, I remember laying

566
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: down and saying, you know what this is tough, but boy,

567
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: am I glad I'm here. This is exactly what I

568
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: wanted to do. I'm the luckiest guy in the world,

569
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: and this I don't want to be anywhere else. And

570
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure and Ted Carress feels, you know that that

571
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: way about it, and and I think fortunately they've they've

572
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: put their bat on the ball in evaluating and sifting

573
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: through players that have that exact feeling. There are a

574
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys in that locker room that have that

575
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: type of feeling, and Ted Carriss is He's one of

576
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: the leaders of the pack. There's no question about it.

577
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: We have now seen what a sixty five yard field

578
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: goal looks like in person, after Evan McPherson booted one

579
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday to end the big practice at Paul Brown Stadium.

580
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: The NFL record is sixty six, set last year by

581
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker. I don't know if Evan McPherson is ever

582
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: going to get a shot to tie that or break that,

583
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: But do you think that he will become the first

584
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Bengals kicker to boot one from sixty plus at some point?

585
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: I do? I do. I think there's going to be

586
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: an occasion where, you know, it'll it'll come up. It

587
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: won't come up often, but there'll be an occasion where, yeah,

588
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: you know what we have to we have to try

589
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: this sixty one yard field goal, and he can make it.

590
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: We've seen him make it, so yeah, let's let's let's

591
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: go for it. There will be a game, a circumstance

592
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: where he will have an opportunity to probably get that done.

593
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: And the thing about his sixty five yard that stunned

594
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: me is is the trajectory, the instantaneous height that he

595
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: gets on the football. I mean, man, he elevates that

596
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: thing so quickly. You know, instead of thinking, I know

597
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I have to hit the low for the drive to

598
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: drive the football, he's still I mean nobody, that thing

599
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: is unblockable, and it traveled the distance that it traveled.

600
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: It's just phenomenal. It's he is. He is a very

601
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: very unique talent. There is, there's no question about it.

602
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: And I probably that one probably would have been good

603
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: from I'd say sixty seven, you know absolutely, I mean

604
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: if not seventy. Yeah, that was pure. That was very pure,

605
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: and uh just makes you scratch your head. Boy, he's

606
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: got an explosive right hip and right leg. There is No,

607
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: it's good. Dynamite caps in there, man, I think I said,

608
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: I said what I was thinking when he hit it.

609
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: If it's good, he's bionic and bionic hip and a

610
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: bionic leg on that right side. It's crazy. We haven't

611
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: seen Joe Burrow yet. There's no official timetable, and when

612
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: he's going to come back and start practicing. Do you

613
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: have a feel for how much time he can miss

614
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: before it would actually hurt him or hurt the team

615
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: in any way? I think that, you know, a couple

616
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: three weeks. I really think he could miss um. And

617
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: we're already a week into it. I'd say it's going

618
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: to be a couple more weeks. And I'm not saying

619
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: that he won't be out there. I'm sure he'll be

620
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: out there, you know, taking the mental reps and going

621
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: through things with his teammates and bonding that way, and

622
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: everybody will be excited to have him out there, there's

623
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: no question about it. But the two things that you

624
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: know come to my mind is you got to you

625
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that it's healing properly, and you avoid

626
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: at all cost infection. And it's not like his appendix

627
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: rupture or burst or anything. There wasn't any infection on

628
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: the front, But I'm talking about after the fact. You

629
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: go through the procedure, and I mean, hecky had an

630
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: organ taken out of your body, and you know your

631
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: body has to respond or recover, and you don't want

632
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: it to have to then handle an affection. So that

633
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: that's one thing, and then the other thing is let

634
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: it heal. Because the way Joe throws a football, he

635
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: uses his core. You know every quarterback does. I mean,

636
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: they're They're torking and twisting that core pretty darn significantly,

637
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: and you know, you want to you want to make

638
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: sure that the healing is is uh far along, so

639
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: far along that you don't even have to worry about,

640
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, anything that that may be disrupted because of that,

641
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, severe torque or that severe twisting of your

642
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: of your body that you have to do to throw,

643
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, to goose that ball down the field, and

644
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: those de throws. You have to talk it pretty good.

645
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: So they're going to err on the side of caution.

646
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. They're not going to rush

647
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: him back. I know, I'd be stunned if they If

648
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: they bring him back too ston I think if they're

649
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: gonna probably have to put a harness on jail. He's

650
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna say I want to go out there and get going,

651
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: and they may hold him out for another day or

652
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: two after he says, you know, I'm ready to go,

653
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: and I bet that will happen. You know, he'll probably

654
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: be saying to the media at some point, I'm ready

655
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: to go. They just won't let me go yet. And

656
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: that's that's what I envision happening. All right, final thing,

657
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: going to circle back to the AFC Championship ring. We

658
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: were so grateful and appreciative to be included on the

659
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: list by the Brown family to receive rings from last year.

660
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,760

664
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,000

00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: rings looked pretty big on those little hands, that's for sure,
